Initially I am afraid to admit that I did not expect very much from this museum. As I went through it, I was impressed with its size, comprehensive exhibitory, and diverse items on display.!! The detail and workmanship on each jewellery item is amazing. Plan...More

The Precolumbian Gold Museum is well worth a visit. It was different from what I expected, in a good way. I didn't expect an overview of the history of Costa Rica or temporary art exhibitions on relevant themes and I'm glad that I saw these...More

About $6 per person - don't know the children's entry fee. There is a lot of "eye-candy" to catch a young child's attention. Gold really shines! Also, many of the sculptures and carved pieces are uniquely shaped and wonderful - just remember to stay engaged - and the children will have fun learning. For a short while - then on to the next thing. The zoo is nearby. There is also a small city park a couple blocks to the southeast where children can run around a bit - just watch out for the preachers who will want to save your soul. Do be watchful for pickpockets in the area - we have never been messed with - however, we've spoken to folks who have a things snatched downtown, so be watchful and have fun!
